Search Tasks in Quire Permalink

Task search in Quire helps you quickly narrow down tasks within a project using keywords and special search operators. This is especially useful when working with large task lists or when you need to focus on a specific set of tasks.

How do I search for tasks in a project?

1. Open any project in Quire.
2. Press S on your keyboard to activate task search.
3. Enter your search keyword or operator.

Your search will automatically apply to the current task filter (All Tasks, Incomplete Tasks, or Completed Tasks).

What can I search for in tasks?

Quire supports multiple task search formats to help you refine results:

• Keywords to search task titles and content
• Task ID to locate a specific task
• Assignees using @username
• Tags using #tag
• Priority using !priority

You can combine multiple search terms to narrow results further.

How does task search work with task filters?

Task search respects the current task filter:

• When viewing All Tasks, search applies to all tasks in the project
• When viewing Active Tasks, search applies only to unfinished tasks

Can I take quick actions from search results?

Yes. You can manage tasks by right-clicking on the search results:

• Add assignees
• Set due dates
• Add or remove tags
• Update task details without leaving search
